burned one considerable coast town, cap

gan Her VIII miss tHAlh'
ings, obtaining some success from the
start. But the older of the two brothers
had but completed his education and Sc
cured a position in South America when
he died, and not long afterward the other
was accidentally killed. so Miss Mulock
was alone in the world Her first novel,
1.-THE Ogilvies," published in lS49, soon
attained quite a success. In 1850 she
published ''Olive;" in 1851, "The Head of
the Family" and "Alice Learmont;" in
1852, "AgathA's Husband and several
short stories for young people. In 1857
appeared her best known work, John
Halifax, Gentleman. Thereafter her
life was somewhat easier, and she pro-
duced many works, large and small, in
some Of which more quiet humor and
geniality appeared. In 1854 the govern
ment settled literary pension Of EGO a
year on Miss Mulock, and in 1865 she was
married to Mr.. George Lille Craik, an
officer in the English army, some years
younger than herself. They lived very
happily together, and their home at Rich
mond was quite attractive. She died
there on the 18th Of October.
Mrs. Craik's neglect to fix her name to
her earlier publications was the cause OF
a very curious literary controversy several
years ago. A Mrs. Granville Whyte
claimed to be the author OF "John Hall
fax" and her claim was admitted by
several critics till the real author came
forward and proved her work. She also
had another curious almost painful, ex-
perience which the readers OF current
literature will recall; it arose from the
fact that she began writing when one view
Of woman's nature and true position in
society was almost universally held, and
continued to write long after a totally
different view had obtained in many
circles, while she retained her earlier
views. She maintained broadly that
equality in the sense woman sutfragists
use the word, between man and woman Is
simply impossible, and that woman must
expect happiness in the development Of an
entirely different mind and character In
one of her articles she says that woman
cannot be happy as man, but only as the
sister, mother or companion Of man;
for there is an inherent, an in
eradicahle desire in woman to 'look
up TO" some one totally unlike herself,
not only To love but to almost worship
she Will still mentally create him and be
ready to merge her identity in him.
Though this view, attacked at the time as
extreme, appears to be somewhat modified
in her later writings, she still adhered
to the general statement that with very
rare (she implies unnaturaD exceptions
woman must find her happiness in physic'
al and political dependence on man, striv'
ing at the same time TO maintain an emo
tional superiority. In short, she held In
It's entirety the ''oak and ivy" theory
which is standing subject Of ridlcule by
our woman suiiragists. Yet she insists
that 1t is woman's right and duty TO hold
man to strict moral accountability, and
in the failure to do this she finds the one
almost universal and heinous sin OF WON
